It was reported that exenatide ameliorated renal injury in diabetic rats. The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of exenatide on 24-hour urinary albumin, urinary transforming growth factor-β(1) (TGF-β(1)) and type IV collagen excretion in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria.
